Happy September 1st! Lake cabins are closing this weekend, school is starting up again, and people are starting to spend less time outside because of the air getting cooler. Soup season is also upon us!
I’m not going to lie, last Winter sucked. We kept on getting pounded with so much snow and storms there were 7 missed school days. I’m really hoping for a mild Winter this time. I don’t know if I could take another one like that. I’m really tempted to just become a snowbird and pack up my bags and bring my dogs with me to a warmer state in the South for January and February and then come back mid-March. We get snow 6 months out of the year here. (Midwest).
I’m already making all the soup recipes and remaking old soup recipes on this blog. This black bean soup couldn’t be any easier and I recently updated this post with new pictures and all the good stuff for you. It took me less than 10 minutes to make and this recipe can be easily downsized. Have some black bean soup with a sandwich and salad for lunch.
How to Make Black Bean Soup
In a pot, combine the first 4 ingredients; simmer for 10 minutes.
Add half a can of beans, salt and cumin; cook for 5 minutes.
Puree soup (I use an immersion blender which makes it easy to do it right in the pot).
Add the rest of the beans to the soup.
Combine the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons of water.

I am not affiliated with WW formerly known as Weight Watchers in any way. I am just a member who likes to create WW recipes and share them with everyone. Freestyle is the name of the current program of WW and smart points are calculated for the recipes. Some blogs list them as freestyle smart points and some list them as smart points. There is no difference between the 2.
How is this a WW recipe?
NO FOOD is off limits on WW and WW themselves stresses that a lot on their social media pages. That is one reason why I love WW. You can pretty much eat ANYTHING to lose weight just as long as you stay in your daily points range or are in a calorie deficit.
